CENTRAL PT. WAR
HERO GIVEN D.S.C.
FOR ITALY ACTION
EX-LOCAL WOMAN,
IN PLANE WINS IN
RACE WITH STORK
With the 88th Division In
Italy (Delayed) The Dis
tinguished Service Cross has
been pinned on Pfe. McDonald
Coleman, Central Point soldier
who has been harrasslng the
Germans' in Italy for some time.
Pfc. Coleman Is a little guy,
who packs a six-shooter almost
as big as he is, but big or little.
32 Germans is a pretty good
record in two actions, not count
ing six or seven he got on the
march, on Rome last spring.
"Windy" Coleman was made
a sergeant shortly after his out
fit crossed the Arno near Flor
ence but it didn't last long. He
got a "yen" to see Florence and
failed to heed sign reading
"Off limits to 88th division
troops" and now his mall comes
addressed to PFC once more.
Gets "Souvenirs" '
In action west of Castel Del
Rio, a hot spot on the road to
Bologna, "Windy" took off for a
small Italian village In search
of souvenirs. As he neared a
house, nazi bullets whizzed past
his ears no he pulled out his six
shooter and plucked off three
Hitlerites with three shots.
"Windy" walked Into the house
and came across six Germans
setting up a machine gun. His
six-shooter persuaded them to
quit nd it also persuaded the
officer In charge to holler for the
rest of hp men and they came
swarming down from every
nook and cranny In the house.
"Windy" swears he even saw one
of them come out from behind
the moulding.
Hits Jackpot
In the house he found six ma
chine guns and 'a couple of mor
tars set up to ambush his- com
pany when they came down the
hill.
A bit later, "Windy" and some
15 other men were setting up a
road-block, It was necessary to
go Into house to check up on
things so he and pal went in.
The score: 12 Jerries. "Windy"
sent his pal back with the pris
oners and continued to look
through the house. He found
three German majors and when
the dust cleared away ha had
hit the Jackpot again.
In the meantime, a German
counterattack started up and
"Windy" was trapped In the
X house. A German shell crashed
through the roof, setting it afire
ani he was able to escape In the
dense smoke.
IT. TOMMY WHITE
SENDS LETTER TO
RELATIVES HERE
Wilton A. White, Hlllcrest
road, has received a letter from
his brother, Lt. Tommy White,
former prominent Medford high
school athlete, who has been a
German prisoner for about a
year. It was the first word re
ceived from him in three
months,
According to the letter, Lt.
White has received no letters
or packages since he was taken
prisoner. He wrote that he likes
the country where he is con-
lined and that his leg, broken
in two places when he para
chutcd from his plane, is now
much better.-
Lt. White wrote that he Is
working in the athletic office
repairing equipment and has
played in several ball games,
He says the prisoners spend
considerable time planning
moala they are going to eat
when released and of fishing
trips they will enjoy when they
reach, their homes. Their eve
ning meal when he wrote the
letter consisted of coffee and
sandwiches, he said.
Because the army arranged
for a transport plane to fly Mrs.
Louise Arnold from Long Beach,
Calif., to Brlgham City, Utah,
Mrs. Arnold's daughter was born
December 17 In the same hos
pital where her husband. Second
Lt Jesse F. Arnold, was recov
ering from wounds suffered dur
ing the Leyte campaign. Lt.
Arnold, stationed at. Camp White
for many months, was the first
wounded man to be returned to
this country from the Leyte bat
tles. Mrs. Arnold was brought to
Bushnell General hospital De
cember IB for the joyous reun
ion with her husband, whom she
had not seen since June. Be
cause the arrival of the baby was
expected at any time, the army
wife was accompanied on the
plane trip by her family doctor
and a Red Cross nurse. The army
pilot won his race with the stork,
and the six-pound, seven-ounce
daughter was delivered two days
later.
Lt. Arnold was stationed at
Camp White for a time when
the camp was first opened. He
subsequently was transferred to
the 96th division and returned
to the local camp with that di
vision in November of 1843, re
maining here until the division
left in April of last year. Lt.
and Mrs. Arnold spent six weeks
as guests of Miss Hazel Swayne,
Medford nurse, who resides at
Cargill Court, and Mrs. Arnold
was employed by Western Un
ion here for about two months.
She returned to her home at
Westminster, Calif., when the
86th division was transferred
from Oregon. '
Lt. Arnold's wounds were suf
fered early in the Leyte cam
paign while he was serving as
a mortar platoon commander
with the 96th division. First aid
men were unable to reach the
officer for several minutes and
he was forced to put tourniquets
on his legs, both of which had
been broken. The right leg was
laier amputated.
